Anythign less is ..well.. stupid. If you're not a service provider and hostyour own dns/mail server, it's your own choice. After all, you'll only be losing your own email and not other people's email. -- = Mohammad A. Haque http://www.haque.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Alcohol and calculus don't mix.

Re: Mail admin notice my 2 cents
I would have never signed up for this list, or any other if it didn't give me at least a few hours worth of email bouncing neither myself, or usa.net is up 24/7/365, and i wouldn't expect that everyone has a dedicated email server, for almost any list. plus I have had many problems with the @home's email servers, if I relied on them I would probibly have been kicked off quite some time ago. well thats my 2cents Richard Reynolds [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sun, 20 May 2001, Matti Aarnio wrote: > Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 22:05:45 +0300 > From: Matti Aarnio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Mike A.

There is 3d+ some hours grace period during which vger doesn't need to be able to feed email to destination system, BUT AFTER THAT STARTS BOUNCING. (To linux-kernel-owner, NOT to the list itself!) Alan Cox was awhile back offline for 2-3 days, and was amazed that trans-atlantic connection can feed email at full bandwidth of his network connection (512k, or whatever that was..) > >Please bear with bounces until then. If you are unconnected for more than that 3d+, THEN you will be removed. For few hours that is no problem. Begin connected to the network for few hours every day is no problem either, but then you would most likely have backup MX server, and issue an ETRN request for your domain there when you reconnect. > You're saying that you consider it acceptable to bounce email to > 5000 to 1 people, possibly thousands of messages?

You're saying that you consider it acceptable to bounce email to 5000 to 1 people, possibly thousands of messages? And that you knew it may occur in advance? I would think the responsible thing to do would be to unsubscribe from the mailing list temporarily until your problem is solved. Anything less is purely apathetic on your part. Signature poll: I'm planning on getting a 12 or 16 port autosensing 10/100 ethernet switch soon for home use, and am interested in hearing others recommendations on what to buy. Cost isn't as important as is functionality and quality.

Mail admin notice
My emails may bounce between 3AM -> 8AM Est time, @Home is doing some fiber upgrades and i dont have a second MX server (as I am the domain/dns/mail etc). Please bear with bounces until then.
